TX from 1893 to 1899, but not on the census with his family in 1900. He is found on the Tax Roll in 1902 and on the 1910 Tom Green Co., TX Census living with his family in San Angelo, TX, doing odd jobs.

On the 1920 Census for Sweetwater, Nolan Co. TX, his wife is a listed as a widow with four children.
Family history is told that William may have had a run-in with the law and went to prison leaving his wife 'Litha' alone with the children. When William got out they resumed their marriage, living in Runnels Co., Tom Green Co. & Nolan Co., TX. but no proof has been found for this to be the case. It was told by one of his sons that William was thought to have worked for the railroads, maybe traveling extensively. It is known that William was a laborer of odd jobs. It was also thought that William left Telitha for another woman and had two families. No history of him or his whereabouts has been found. Whatever happened to William was something that his family never discussed or was not known. It has been thought that William died in the 1920's but no information has been found.
